Wheat Berry Deliciousness

What can you do with those wheat berries once you have soaked them?  

You can eat them as they are, but not too many or you will get a sick stomach.

You can boil them for a delicious hot cereal!  For this yummy breakfast I made, I boiled 1/2 cup of wheat berries in 1 cup water for about 10 minutes.  After draining excess water, I added a little raw honey, blueberries and bananas, and it was the most filling breakfast I've had in a long time!  It was delicious too.  That was a bonus.  

You can grow wheat berries into sprouts to eat as a snack, or add them to salads.  Simply put them in a jar in a light place in your kitchen and cover the jar with cheesecloth and a rubberband.  You can use old (clean) nylons to cover the jar as well.  You just need something you can drain the water through.  Fill the jar with cold water, swish around, and drain twice a day.  This prevents the wheat berries from getting moldy as they begin to sprout.  

In about 3 days you'll have sprouts like this!  They are yummy and much sweeter than I expected.

My kids ate these all up in one sitting, and one of them ended up with a stomach ache.  I don't recommend eating too many at a time, but they are that delicious!
